This... Is a Really Bad Idea

El Conquistador
I was unfolding the mysteries of dating to a couple girls yesterday in our apartment when my roommate walks in the room and says,

"You are so dumb. Your dating strategies don't work! I'll bet that if you spent a few days observing the girls you know, then picked 10 of them and went on three or four dates with each one, you'd find your wife."


Oh. It's on.

So I'm now making my preliminary list, from which I'll choose 10 girls to ask out at least three times each. My guess is that this will get very volatile very quickly, because most of the 17 girls on my current list are all in my ward, and some are even roommates.

But I'm a bit torn. On the one hand, I love dating experiments and winning roommate debates.

On the other, I'm setting myself up to be the most hated man in the ward within a matter of weeks.

I don't know. Leave me a comment and tell me what you think. Right now I'm planning on it, in  fact my first date is tonight, but I'm not 100% convinced that this is a good idea...

  1. Judging by the very nature of this experiment....you won't find your wife. If I were you, I'd simply call the bet off before I ruined my reputation and, consequently, my chances of finding a significant other for a very VERY long time.
    In case you weren't aware, GIRL CODE: Clause 8; Paragraph 2 states:

    In the case that you are asked out more than once by a member of the male species who is known to have recently asked out one or more OTHER girls multiple times you must refuse or be prepared to deal with one of the following: (1) Heartbreak (only applies to those who have an interest in said male); (2) Backbiting and/or cattiness from fellow females (only applies if other females have interest in said male); (3) A very awkward and possibly creepy date (applies when no females have interest in said male).

  2. And yes, the GIRL CODE refers to men as a different species.
